The Boone Federation

Base: A fortified settlement in the ruins of what was once Boone, NC Interests: Community self-governance, trade, historical preservation Alignment: The Boone Federation is a collective of scholars, former civil servants, and families who seek to rebuild society based on democratic principles. They value the historical significance of their region and strive to preserve the knowledge and culture of the pre-war world.

Goals:

• Democratic Society: Establish a self-governing body that represents the interests of all its citizens.
• Cultural Archive: Collect and protect historical artifacts, documents, and knowledge from before the war.
• Trade Hub: Become a central trading post for the region, offering a neutral ground for all factions.

Impact of the G.E.C.K.

• Cautious Optimism: The Boone Federation sees the G.E.C.K. as a tool for societal rebirth but remains wary of its potential misuse.
• Cultural Renaissance: They hope the G.E.C.K. will allow them to reclaim lost lands and restore historical sites, promoting a cultural revival.

These factions, along with the Verdant Pioneers, the Blue Ridge Caravan Company, the Ironclad Enclave, and the Appalachian Nomads, form a complex tapestry of alliances, rivalries, and conflicts. The G.E.C.K.'s deployment has become a pivotal event, shaping not only the environment but the very fabric of society in this new world. As these groups interact, cooperate, and clash, the region becomes a dynamic stage for adventures, where every action can have far-reaching consequences.
